What is Shaping the Day : A History of Timekeeping in England and Wales 1300-1800 about?

"Shaping the Day is a study of the practice of timekeeping in England and Wales between 1300 and 1800. Drawing on many unique historical sources, ranging from personal diaries to housekeeping manuals, Paul Glennie and Nigel Thrift illustrate how a particular kind of commonsense about time came into being, and how it developed during this period." "Overturning many common perceptions of the past - for example, that clock time and the industrial revolution were intimately related - this unique historical study will engage all readers interested in how 'telling the time' has come to dominate our way of life."--Jacket.
